It just may be possible one day! Back in 2008, Mano Misra, a professor of engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno, was inspired to consider this possibility by a cup of coffee that sat overnight. The next day it was observed that a considerable amount of oil had formed a layer on top of the coffee.

Professor Misra led the research which initially involved acquiring and analysis of 50 lbs of used coffee grounds. The coffee grounds were obtained from several Starbuck’s stores. The teams research found that the coffee grounds contain 10 – 15% oil by weight. A chemical process was then used to convert the oil into biodiesel. They estimate this process could produce several hundred million gallons of this biodiesel with a production cost as little as $1 per gallon. This may seem like a lot but, it would only represent less than 1% of the diesel fuel used in the United States in one year.

Scientist at the University of Bath in the United Kingdom have also been hard at work researching the use of spent coffee grounds to make biodiesel. This year they reported experimenting with various coffee types from different countries around the world. They determined that varieties such as Robusta and Arabica are suitable for the production of fuel. They suggest that coffee chains could actually produce the fuel and use it to fuel their delivery vehicles. The same vehicle could then be used to collect the used coffee grounds and deliver them to processing facilities.

Wow, could you imagine a company like Starbucks or Green Mountain being talked about with companies like Exxon or BP? Could happen! So, every time you enjoy that cup of java or latte you could be actually contributing to the future production of cleaner "green" biodiesel fuel. Drink up!

"A Man's Unsung Music: My Moment"

Introducing another fantastic production by none other than the talented, Shayla Tate of Voice Theatrical. The play "A Man's Unsung Music: My Moment is on August 30th and I expect all of you to be in the audience. This play will definitely speak to you.

We find ourselves surviving life and not living it, but in John 10:10, NIV, Jesus states "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." The play is about finding courage to LIVE when everything and everyone just needs you to survive.

With the increase over-usage of pesticides, GMO's, Genetically Modified Organisms, and antibiotics in today's crops, there is a rising health concern spreading across the United States as consumers are taking notice.

In recent 2013 estimates, the Centers for Disease Control shows that approximately 1.1 billion pounds of pesticides are the main active ingredients that are being used on an annual basis all over the country and approximately over 20,000 pesticide products are on the market for consumer purchase, which is beginning to impact the health of consumers and our environment. Hence, organic foods are produced using environment and animal-friendly farming methods and are gaining awareness around the country. The Organic Trade Commission estimates that approximately 81 percent of families today are purchasing more organic food.

By 2018, it is projected by the United States Organic Food Market Forecast and Opportunities that the organic food market in the United States will grow approximately 14 percent between 2014 and 2018 Organic fruits and vegetables currently dominate in the organic food market, but with the growing awareness of organic foods, a demand for organic meat, fish and poultry will also be expected.

Due to the consumer awareness of the importance of overall health, consumers are focusing more on product quality and packaging,which in turn will help the organic market grow significantly.

~ Wine Tasting Trend of 2014 ~

Wine Tasting Parties

The latest trend for 2014 is hosting wine tasting parties. Hosting a wine tasting party is a great way to do something fun, classy,
and different with your friends. If you are looking to spruce up your typical Saturday night with friends serving your same old selection of light beers, tortilla chips and salsa, then you should definitely consider mixing things up a bit and host a wine tasting party from the comfort of your home. If you want to know how to host a wine tasting party
that's an even bigger hit than a Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley,
then follow these steps:

Choose a theme.

Pair your food selection with the wine selection, otherwise known as "wine-pairing." Something light to simply cleanse their palate.

Select the proper wine glasses. Glasses should have long stems so that your guests won't "warm" the wine with their hands.

Gather the proper supplies for a party.

Select a proper time and invite your guests!

Add a game at the end of your wine tasting to make your evening even extra special and fun!
